1996 Artic Cat Powder Special I put 3200 miles on it in one season. I was riding so much that every problem I had with the sled didn't show up at other dealers for a month or two later. Blew the crank twice on the Pemberton ice cap. Dragged out once, flown out once. Got a 97 PS the following year.

Had a old kitty cat when i was a kid but dad got sick of getting me unstuck and i got sick of walking back to the house to get him to get me unstuck so when i was 10 he got me a 81 JD 340 trailfire which I loved till I was 18. put a lot of miles on that baby. Good thread takes me back
oh ya, Dad used to let me drive his 74 440 everest when he was in a good mood. That baby had a long track.....not even sure what a long track was back in 74

Mine was a 1974 Moto-Ski F340 followed by a 1977 John Deer Liquifire. The Moto-ski was bullet proof, the John Deer not so much!
